Description
The Isle of Arran is often called “Scotland in miniature” for its ability to capture the essence of the entire country on one small island. This challenge invites adventurers to immerse themselves in this microcosm of Scotland through an unforgettable four-day sea kayaking expedition. This journey will celebrate the unique tastes, cultures, and landscapes of the Isle of Arran, weaving together the elements of earth, water, air, and fire that define this beautiful corner of Scotland.
The Journey
100km (about 62.14 mi) circumnavigation of Arran, starting and finishing in the picturesque village of Brodick.
Over four days, guests will cover an average of 25km (about 15.53 mi) per day, testing their endurance, teamwork, and determination as they navigate the rugged coastline of this beautiful Scottish island.
